Hurd slams league’s celebration policy

Hurd was stunned to learn that he received a penalty for a choreographed touchdown celebration after Roy Williams’ touchdown catch in the first quarter of Sunday’s 24-21 loss to Minnesota.

The Cowboys orginally thought Miles Austin drew the penalty for leapfrogging Williams. But the NFL informed Wade Phillips on Monday that Hurd drew the flag for flashing his rock star hand signal at the same time Williams displayed a Hook ’em ‘Horns sign.

“I was like man, you can’t do nothing. This league is amazing,” Hurd told the Dallas Morning News on Wednesday.

The Brackenridge graduate said the celebration was spontaneous, which the league permits.

“That’s exactly what it was,” Hurd said. “It was just celebrating my team. That’s what I thought the NFL was about. Team.”
